Xbox 360 Gets First Holiday Bundle

Those of you who've showed your love of the Master Chief with the purchase of the limited edition Halo 3 Xbox 360 may proceed to slap your foreheads or grit your teeth with frustration. The rest of you who've straddled the fence on purchasing an Xbox 360, listen closely. Microsoft is sweetening the deal by throwing GameSpy's Editor's Choice award-winning Forza Motorsport 2, and last year's Marvel Ultimate Alliance (together, a $90 value) for free with the purchase of either an Xbox 360 Premium ($349.99 USD) or Elite ($449.99 USD). The promotion starts at the end of October.

We're awaiting word back from Microsoft as to whether or not the two games will come as separate discs, or if we'll be seeing a single disc pack-in on par with Microsoft's past Xbox bundles seen during the 2002 (Sega GT 2002/Jet Set Radio Future), 2003 (Star Wars: The Clone Wars/Tetris Worlds) and 2004 (NCAA Football 2005/Top Spin) holiday seasons.
